Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/22/2017 -- Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) devices are used for capturing high-resolution 3D or 2D data of geospatial surfaces. The technology is similar to RADAR, however scores high over RADAR in terms of accuracy and speed. The innovations in the laser technology help to bring price corrections in LiDAR products. Simultaneously, the changing demands and preferences of the urban population unveil newer LiDAR applications apart from conventional military applications. The sophistication of 3D imaging technology leads to increased corridor mapping activities by the LiDAR. The market is expected to experience continued dominance from defense and corridor mapping applications. LiDAR Market is expected to grow at a prominent CAGR of 18.5% during the forecast period.

The global LiDAR market is segmented based on type of LiDAR systems, components used, their application, end user sectors, and geography. Static or terrestrial, aerial, mobile, and short range are the various types of LiDAR systems elaborated in the report. The components of LiDAR systems discussed are laser scanner, inertial navigation system, camera, GPS receiver, and micro-electro-mechanical system.
